The Minnesota medical marijuana bill needs your help!

Published: March 9, 2009

The House Civil Justice Committee will be taking up MPP's medical marijuana bill within the next couple of days, and it needs to hear from you.

We urgently need all of our supporters to contact the House Civil Justcie Committee members now. You can find their contact information and some talking points here. It's imperative that the committee members understand the wide and deep support this compassionate measure has before they vote.

If MPP's medical marijuana bill is passed into law, seriously ill Minnesotans will be protected from the threat of arrest and jail for simply using their doctor-recommended medicine. Last session, medical marijuana legislation passed the full Senate but stalled on the House floor before receiving a vote. We need to generate and maintain momentum moving forward so that legislators understand the pressing need to protect the sick and dying from arrest in Minnesota.

Please contact the committee members today and convey your strong support for this crucial bill. Cancer, HIV/ AIDS, and multiple sclerosis patients across the state are depending on you taking action immediately!

Thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project. Please pass this alert along to your friends, family, and e-mail lists and urge them to take action today.
